MIL-DTL-83723 Series II Part Number Builder

M83723/17–/24 environment-resisting receptacles and plugs, threaded coupling, crimp contacts (inactive for new design)

Build a new part number

Each sheet offers the classes in its own title. Table I of MIL-DTL-83723H gives each class's shell material, finish and temperature rating.

    Picking an insert arrangement above sets this automatically – or choose a shell size here first to narrow the arrangement picker. Sizes 08, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 17 are the SAE-AS50151 sizes 8S, 10S, 10SL, 12S, 14S and 16S.

    N is the normal position and is written in the part number. The other positions turn the insert inside the shell; which ones an arrangement has, and by how many degrees, comes from MIL-STD-1651.

    Parts list

    Tick “Add to parts list” next to any part number above: the connector, its contacts, a mate or an accessory, as you build other connectors. Contact quantities are for one connector; edit the quantity for more. The list clears on reload — copy or download it before you leave the page.

    No parts yet.

    Copy list gives part number, quantity and description separated by tabs, for a spreadsheet or a distributor’s paste-a-list form. The CSV has the same columns with a header row.

    Check every part number and quantity against the current specification before you buy. Neither this site nor Newark is responsible for errors in generated part numbers; see Part numbers and purchases.

    About this builder

    MIL-DTL-83723 Series II connectors are threaded-coupling circular connectors with crimp contacts. This builder covers the eight specification sheets M83723/17 to /24: cable-connecting, wall-mount and box-mount receptacles, and plugs.

    All eight sheets have been inactive for new design since 1976 and are replaced by the SAE-AS3450x sheets. The builder is for reading and building the part numbers on existing designs.

    Find the mating connector

    Build or decode a part number and the builder lists its candidate mating connectors: a plug for a receptacle or a receptacle for a plug, with the same shell size, insert arrangement and polarization or insert position, and the opposite contacts, pins to sockets. Similar plating and Similar contacts narrow the list. Add a mate to the parts list with one click, and check it against both detail sheets before you use it.

    Build or decode a part number

    Choose the options one field at a time, or paste a part number such as M83723/20R0801N into Decode to see what each part of it means. Each list offers only the options the specification allows with your earlier choices. Tick “Add to parts list” to collect the connector, its contacts, mates and accessories as you go, then copy the list or download it as CSV.
